Been messed about a bit hasn't it? Where are the seat brackets?

 

[Bill Thomas]

A new one is only £2.700 !!, In UK.

 

[Whiteshadow15]

People certainly pay a premium for that original number, last rapide frame sold right away for 4,500 US just a few weeks back.

 

[Bill Thomas]

I am from a time long ago, Never thought of my Bike being an investment,
There are a few Bikes out there with no number on the rear frame, That would do me.

 

[Whiteshadow15]

Frame has been sold, that was quick

 

[ClassicBiker]

Hmmm, that was quick. Just looking at his history. He sold a Series C Comet RFM for $4,500 six months ago. I don't know. Makes me wonder.

 

[Whiteshadow15]

Makes you wonder what???

 

[ClassicBiker]

It just strikes me as odd. That he found a buyer for two RFM within six months. That one that is missing brackets went for $7000 that quick. I'm sure it's all fine. I'm just a very suspicious person when it comes to evil bay.

 

[Whiteshadow15]

Ah, gotcha. Rapide frame sent out to Australia,

This shadow we accepted a solid offer so it was less than 7k and headed to the UK.

Its not an investment Bill.
Its only more monies as way back.

 

[Robert Watson]

I never paid too much for Vincents or parts for them, I just bought some too soon.

 

[Bill Thomas]

I can't see younger people getting into Vin's, To be ridden, At this sort of money.
I will never be able to buy another that's for sure !.

That is my sentiment. I passed up a numbers matching C and D shadow to build a mixed numbers rapide instead. I just ride is all.

 

[genedn]

why not sell this to club members not eBay? You will save the fees. I guess the only the things is you won't get eBay prices.

You will however be happy in knowing that someone will put a bike back on the road.

 

[Whiteshadow15]

It seems that most people who end up purchasing are forum members as well, pricing some items is difficult and I think this way solves that issue.

We did see that one upper frame we sold to Godet ended up on a completed rapide that was at auction this past January, that was really rewarding to see.

 

[Pushrod Twin]

Well that is a bit confusing! I thought the RFM seller "Knowthybeast69" was the same character selling the new crankcases "Knowthybeast" . Clearly I hadnt looked closely enough, they are on opposite sides of the pond.
I am surprised the cases havent moved at 4200Golly British Poonds. I would be keen except that it make 8300 Pacific Pasos which is out of my reach right now.

 

[greg brillus]

yes with the addition of bearings, oil pump and spindles most of the hard work is done........ It is indeed a good buy.
